Fireflies by PS Bartlett

However peculiar Ennis Whelan has been for the first six years of his life, not until the day he found the bird, did the degree of his strangeness become so tangible.

Dr. Owen Whelan and his wife Sarah, both Irish immigrants, have been living the American dream, as well as raising seven bright and expressive children. Their youngest Ennis, however, has since birth, been a bit of a mystery. Ennis was always small, meek and frightfully odd but there is so much more to him than anyone could have imagined. His sister Teagan grows increasingly suspicious of his behavior but their mother dismisses her claims, until the day he starts healing people.When Ennis ultimately reveals the gift of sight, he questions his father about visions of his past, including his voyage to America in 1844. Owen prayed he'd never have to share those tragic memories but he will share them, when he realizes he has no choice. Ennis' life may depend on it.

I was born on Valentines Day a long, long time ago in South Baltimore, Maryland, less than a mile from Fort McHenry and Federal Hill. Im a very simple person. I love my life and am always striving to make it better for myself and my family. I write, I draw and I still work full-time. Ive been married for almost 20 years and together we have two sons, a daughter, three beautiful granddaughters and a nine year old Maine Coon cat named Columbus. My first novel, Fireflies, was published with GMTA Publishing in 2013. I love history and historical fiction. I get my history fix via movies, television and of course, books although I like to read almost every genre. Im taking a fantastic voyage. Wont you join me?
